Anya Lobos

Anya Luz Lobos will read and perform
excerpts from her recently published novel,
WILD KNOWING, a visionary love story
and interplanetary page turner.

Anya's presentations combine
Expressive Sign Language
with the written word,
and are a visual/auditory delight.

Mary Ker

Raku sun face

Mary Ker makes exquisite sun faces in clay, modeled like real faces of happy, loving people.
A raku firing gives them an iridescent, coppery finish, and many colors and textures are available. Her artistic goal is to capture the expression of love, so that everyone can look into a loving face, every day. Intersperse these with her large tiles of wild animals. Mary also makes vibrant beaded jewelry using one-of-a-kind hand made beads.

Diane C. Taylor

Black Multi

Diane C Taylor creates
elegant but simple fused glass jewelry
as well as platters.
